Hi guys,
look what I found at German ebay...

A set of new/nos 15'' rims for my truck. I like the style of them but I really do not know if they fit my truck, I think so but the description says it's for Vans only...
I found a picture on the internet with a truck that seems to have wheels that are the same style.

What do u think? Looking quite cool (besides the fact that this Blazer has the same two tone color as mine :D)

Are those rims still produced and how much should I bid for it?

NO they are no longer made bid what you think is fare but i would not pay to much i dont think the demand is that high for that bolt pattern the 5 lug pattern is more money for the general lee recreators
 
If the lug spacing is 6 on 5-1/2 (I think) then they'll fit your truck. They are prolly only for van applications because of backspacing, but that may just be the sellers knowledge, he can only repeat what's on the box. Sorry I don't know mm, or I'd give you measurements in metric.
 
Hi ,
thanks a lot for your answers! @Big Ben: thanks for the link, they're looking damn nice on your truck!
Here's some additional information that is given by the seller:
15 x 8,5 9 J , MAX. WHEEL LOAD 1580 LBS
the lug spacing he gives seems to be 5 1/2 inch, so they should fit

And I thought I was the only one that wanted a set of those. I bought mine on ebay about 2 years ago for about 75 bux including shipping. I will get a pic on my K5 here in a sec.

We have a winner! They'll fit just fine, pick 'em up before someone else does!
 
Had a set of those on the k-5 when I got it .......I think i gave them away, didn't like the the fact that you had to use shouldered lug nuts , pain in the a$$ to put on.
 
I've always wanted a set but the ONLY 8 lug ones out there are 16.5" and RARE.

The shouldered lug nuts thing kinda throws me off as well.
 
d*mit! didn't get them, they were sold for 498 $, plus shipping of about 80 dollars these rims would have cost me about 580 Bucks... !! That's too much! I have a running order at LMC, want to redo my brake system this year and install my new bumpers... so i can really use this $$ ...
Well, at least I have no problem with shoulderd lug nuts now ;-)

Neat...but they're on the other side of the country and 16.5".

Always wondered why no one makes those again. They have a decent enough cult following.
 
both sets western wheels and 16.5x9.75 8 lug with shoulder lugs.

never seen a 8 lug set in 15 "

i plan on painting the windows black on the slots. some day in my spare time.
 
Eh, don't want 15". Would love some of the Vectors only in 16".
